Eva Angelina aka Eva Angelica (real name: Angelina Del Mar) entered the porn industry by answering an advertisement in the newspapers; her first scene was for the Shane’s World series. She took her alias as a reference to Evangeline. She is known for wearing glasses during her performances. She had said on film shoots she gets sent home to get them if she forgets to bring them with her, and during a visit to one AVN Awards show she wasn’t recognized as she wasn’t wearing her glasses.They are prescription glasses, as she is “very blind”. In late 2005, she considered joining the US Navy. She has also done mainstream work, appearing as an extra in shows such as 7th Heaven and Cousin Skeeter. In 2010, she was named by Maxim as one of the 12 top female stars in porn.

Angelina retired from the business in 2010.

Her marriage to pornographic actor Danny Mountain in December 2007 ended in March 2009 after a domestic violence incident that resulted in Mountain being charged.
